The Waking by Theodore Roethke

Well, it seems our host has found time from his pile of boxes to offer up some pleasant and refreshing articles.

Thanks G, I needed something nice to get me going.

>>This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.

You can never know how valuable this poem was to my family today.

Thank you.
